    Diagnostic imaging refers to technologies that doctors use to look inside your body for clues about a medical condition.

    Diagnostics Imaging

    Types of diagnostic imaging include:


    X-rays for bones, lungs, abdomen and cavities in teeth

    CT scans cross-sectional pics for Cancer, Blood clots, signs of Heart Disease and Internal Bleeding Nuclear medicine detects energy from the radioactive substance for heart and lungs working MRI scans using magnet and radio waves for brain and spinal cord Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves for heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver etc.

    Timeline of diagnostics
